	FindLaw - No. 03-475: Cheney v. U.S. District Court - Brief (Merits)
		FACA explicitly envisions only advisory committees "established or utilized by the President" or by an agency, ibid., and it expressly forbids the establishment of an advisory committee "unless such establishment is," inter alia, "specifically authorized by statute or by the President," 5 U.S.C. App.
		Accordingly, by its terms, FACA recognizes that the question of whether a group established by the President to give him advice is subject to FACA's requirements is to be determined by the group's formal membership as defined by the President.
		Moreover, FACA's focus on the need for the President to establish an advisory committee, as defined by the Act, and its prohibition on unauthorized advisory committees are plainly inconsistent with the concept that such committees can retroactively spring to life by virtue of a post-hoc judicial determination that unauthorized members participated in the group's deliberations.

		FACA requires that membership "...be fairly balanced in terms of points of view represented and the functions to be performed by the advisory committee." We are expected to assure that major--and sometimes strongly opposing--viewpoints are represented to provide a foundation for developing advice and recommendations that are fair and comprehensive.
		FACA authorizes--but does not require--agencies to pay a member of an advisory committee at a rate not to exceed the amount specified for GS-18.
		FACA (and most statutes authorizing individual advisory committees) allow--but do not require--agencies to pay travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, for committee members while engaged in the performance of their duties away from their homes or regular places of business.

		Based on our experience with FACA advisory committees and the frequency and level of activity required by these committees, we believe that performance of activity on these committees does not demonstrate the ability to perform substantial gainful activity.
		The FACA and its implementing regulations allow the Federal Government to establish or utilize advisory committees consisting of non-Federal employees when they are determined to be essential for furnishing expert advice, ideas, and diverse opinions to the Federal Government.

	Legislation & Regulations: Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA): Key Concepts
		In specific terms, FACA applies to committees, boards, commissions, councils, conferences, panels, task forces, or other similar groups "established by" or "utilized by" the federal government If a federal agency creates, manages, or controls such a group, it must be specially chartered and must follow FACA rules.
		Some committees are exempt from FACA rules regardless of whether they are established, managed, or controlled by an agency.
		While FACA does create obstacles to unfettered influence of advisory groups, some of the criticisms of FACA have been the result of vague and confusing regulations defining the scope of the law.

	FACA Introduction
		Congress was concerned that there were too many unregulated advisory groups, that some of those advisory groups were either not contributing anything of substantive value or were duplicating other committees’ efforts, and that the public could not participate in advisory group activities.
		FACA was one of several “good government” laws enacted to promote meaningful public participation in government decisions and to ensure that no particular interest groups would have unfair access to policy makers.
		Whether or not a group falls under FACA, open public involvement should be a major consideration in the collaborative processes when participating in or designing ADR-based collaborative community working groups.

	SPARTA's TMD FOOTPRINT ADVICE TO BMDO: OVERSTEPPING THE BOUNDARIES OF FACA?
		In the area of footprint methodology, AVT appears to satisfy this requirement, conducting footprint "methodology briefings," footprint "workshops," and producing a "footprint methodology paper" that serves as the technical standard for all missile defense footprint analysis conducted by the agency.
		To the contrary, several courts have applied FACA in just such circumstances." Sparta's technical assessment of Gronlund et al's footprint analysis exceeds the informal advice subject to the FACA in Davis and bears a close resemblance to the advice furnished by FEMAT to the executive branch in Espy.
		If BMDO's AVT an "advisory committee," as defined by FACA, when it promulgated uniform standards for footprint analysis methodology and solicitation of Sparta for a study of Gronlund et al's article on footprints for theater missile defense, it contravened FACA on several counts.
